I've got 34JJ boobs and spent years shopping for bikinis that fit - where to go & the best hacks to
IT'S hard enough to find a decent bikini that you'll feel confident in on holiday.
But that becomes even harder if you have big boobs - as ex bra fitter Chloe, 24, has found over the years.
Chloe - also known by her Fuller Bust Inspo handle - initially tried looking for bikinis on the high street, but admitted that with a cleavage her size, they never give her the "support and lift" that she needs.
Instead, she has found that brands such as Bravissimo, Curvy Kate, Reign Studio, Elomi, Freya, Panache, Simply Be, Molke, Ewa Michalak, Brastop and Pour Moi are the best places to shop for swimwear if you have a larger bust.
It's also important to have a fitting if at all possible.
"Getting a fitting with a brand who offers a large range of sizes is the best, as they don’t have to try fit you into their small size range," she explained.

"Plus, an experienced fitter can also suggest the best shapes and styles that will suit you."
And even if you can't make it into the store, lots of brands are now offering online virtual fitting services, which you can have from the comfort and privacy of your own home.
Once you've got the correct size and chosen a bikini or swimming costume that you like, it's time to try it on.
And there's one tip that Chloe always swears by to keep her boobs secure when she hits the water.

"ALWAYS ‘scoop and swoop’ your boobs into your bra or bikini to check that you’re not going to spill out when you start wearing it!" she grinned.
She hasn't always had such success though.
Recalling one family holiday when she was younger, Chloe said: "I remember once taking a bikini on a family holiday, I’d bought in a size 22 to fit my boobs (I was a size 14 at the time).
"But when I jumped in the pool, it untied at the back and my boobs dropped from underneath the bikini."
